SPECTRA:
High performance ballistic material and its many advantages

Spectra is, quite simply, the strongest fiber ever made. Pound for pound, it is ten times stronger than steel. Spectra was developed by and is available exclusively from the High Performance Fibers Group of Allied-Signal, Inc.

Spectra fibers are engineered for the most outstanding combination of cut and chemical resistance. With the addition of excellent flexibility and lightweight strength, these are the same qualities most frequently sought after in a multitude of demanding applications for protective clothing.

Spectra is chemically inert. Exposure to seawater, and other chemicals such as gasoline, kerosene, hydraulic fluid, etc. will not degrade Spectra.

Spectra is highly resistant to moisture. Its ballistic properties are not degraded even by immersion in water. Protracted soaking in seawater has little effect on Spectra. Spectra will work as well under water as it does when dry.

Spectra has the lowest weight. A Spectra vest will weigh about 25% less than an aramid vest of equivalent protection. Less weight can reduce fatigue for the wearer.
